Leo XIV to his cardinals gathered in consistory: "We can never emphasize enough the importance of continuing the path that was opened with the [Second Vatican] Council."
Vatican II is no longer being treated as one council received by the Church. It is being treated as the interpretive tribunal before which all other councils must now appear. If something from the past fits the conciliar vocabulary, it may remain. If it resists that vocabulary, it must be “re-read,” “re-framed,” or quietly set aside. This is why the language matters so much.
My Brothers and Sisters In Christ, A watchman does not cry out every hour of the night. He speaks when something has shifted – when the air itself feels different, when the ground beneath familiar landmarks has begun to move. What has unfolded in Rome this week is not something to panic over, nor something to ignore. It is something to notice. There has been a gathering of cardinals occurring – an extraordinary consistory – called not to define doctrine, not to correct grave error, not to defend the altar or clarify confusion, but to reflect, to listen, to converse, and to continue a process. And the way this gathering was framed tells us far more than any single sentence spoken within it. From the very beginning, the emphasis was clear: The Church was asked once again to look at herself – and to do so through one particular lens. Not through the accumulated wisdom of councils stretching back to the Apostles. But through the Second Vatican Council, presented not as a chapter in the …More

Wide Awake Media @wideawake_media In the 1970s, the number of homeschoolers was roughly 13,000. By the 1980s, this figure had grown to 200,000, and by the 1990s, it reached 850,000. Fast forward to today, and there are now over five million homeschoolers, with the trend continuing to climb. People are finally waking up to the true nature of the government indoctrination camps euphemistically referred to as "schools".
Reports from the extraordinary consistory on January 7-8 in Rome point to significant internal disagreements. TheCatholicHerald.com cites several cardinals, most speaking anonymously. Main quotes. Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, Jerusalem: “Reform is not a Church language. In the Church there are no reforms. We must reflect on our mission and vocation according to the times, but faithful to the roots and to the mission of the Church.” Cardinal Frank Leo, Toronto: “I don’t think the College of Cardinals is divided at all.” Anders Arborelius, Stockholm, on liturgy: “I hope we can find a compromise.” Another Cardinal: “Some of Pope Francis’ friends spoke about a new Church and absolute change.” Conservative cardinal, anonymous: “This whole synodal style doesn’t make sense to me. I don’t understand the intelligent men who write on and on about it.” Progressive cardinal, anonymous: “Sitting around tables rather than facing leaders at the front is a brilliant sign of collegiality.” …More
While the rest of the world is plotting and planning on destroying countries around the world, While they are destroying them now. While they plot and plan to destroy Russia she is preparing for the showdown. When GOD is ready they will all learn pride and hatred and arrogance is not what wins wars. When that day comes, I am sure Russia will hit every underground city they have built and all their bunkers. I am sure of it because I am positive GOD is in complete control and that is His Will. Not that He will be in control later. But always in control.
Leo XIV’s setting of the consistory is “not normative”, Cardinal Gerhard Müller told TheCatholicHerald.com (January 11): “This is a method of the synods, and I think it’s helping the Pope not as Bishop of Rome but as a diocesan bishop.” Cardinal Müller sought to dispel what he described as a false dichotomy in the Church’s internal debates. “The Church of Benedict XVI doesn’t exist anymore.” Picture: vatican media, #newsXaqahjlxet
@Boanerges Boanerges You are absolutely correct! —We can complain til the cows come home but nothing will change for the better. It is a near certainty that things will only get worse. —Jesus Christ created only one Church (now known as the Roman Catholic Church). Moreover, He established only one set of “truths” and commanded the appointed leaders of His Church to teach those “truths,” exclusively, to “all nations.” Those “truths” are the teachings, practices and beliefs of the Catholic religion. —The Second Vatican Council created a counterfeit religion (which faithful Catholics call the “Conciliar” religion). All post-Vatican II popes, bishops and priests follow and promote some or all of the many false teachings contained in the Conciliar religion. —Each and every one of those men of the Conciliar religion who have been responsible for leading unwitting Catholics away from the authentic teachings of the Catholic religion (many to perdition) will one day answer to Jesus Christ …More
"When one of you says, I am for Paul, and another, I am for Apollos, are not these human thoughts? Why, what is Apollos, what is Paul?"1st Corinthians 3:4. Jesus Christ is the head of His Church. The pope should be his "vicar" - a servant of the servants of God who protests the Deposit of Faith. If a man fails in that, woe to him. It would have been better if he hadn't been born!

Pope Leo XIV has received Venezuelan political activist María Corina Machado in a private audience today at the Vatican. The meeting was later confirmed in the Holy See’s daily bulletin but no information about the discussion has been released by the Vatican. Machado, who got the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize, is a former member of Venezuela’s National Assembly and one of the most prominent figures of the country’s opposition.

What a beautiful and kind smile! Prevost is so photogenic, darling of the camera and stage. We should call him "a smiling Pope", just like his predecessor and master was "a breath of fresh air" and "sooo humble".
Fr. Gerald Murray: "I'll say this again... No bishop can prohibit Ad Orientem celebration of the Mass in his diocese beyond his powers, because it is foreseen in the Roman Missal, and the Dicastery of Divine Worship has affirmed in private correspondence in the past that this remains a legitimate way to celebrate Mass. Sad to say, many bishops ignore it, and they won't like it to hear it said, but there and by, why in the world would you want to prohibit what was done for 1300 years or more?"
When the Novus Ordo came out, it stated (for the Orate Frates) the priest TURNS to the congregation, meaning that it was taken for granted the priest was celebrating the Mass AD ORIENTEM.
It was taught in theology schools since Vatican II that the bishop is the "chief liturgist" in his diocese. Usually a task he performed with the consultation of some professional liturgist [mostly female]. Hence the reason why the N.O. Mass is different from diocese to diocese.
Download MP3 File In this first episode of the Semiquincentennial year, The Tombstone Four get back in the saddle. Donning hip boots, we wade into EXTREMELY politically incorrect discussions of monarchy, democracy, race, the Tel Aviv Cabal, and the need for rough and ready adult men to seriously face the unprecedentedly grave threats to civilization, and then act. And if you think there’s any hope that the College of Cardinals will act to restore the See of the Monarch of monarchs, remember the immortal words of Monsignor Agostini caught on a hot mic just a few days ago, looking over the gathered College of Cardinals: “(((Enthusiastic abusers of the posterior fundament))), all together.” Truer words haven’t been spoken in the Vatican in a very, very long time. Turns out the same words apply in Washington D.C.

"To live by the very Holiness of Christ, to participate in the very Science of the Father, to work for Creation with the help of Saint Joseph, under the breath of the Holy Spirit and in the Love of the Blessed Virgin Mary—this is what all humanity is invited to do. Our threefold earthly vocation is here. And to fulfill it, God recommends that we abandon everything to the Holy Spirit and to His spouse, the Most Holy Virgin Mary, to let them do it with us. This is fundamental anthropological knowledge. Nothing else."
Web Operation MaduroWar, Lies and Videotape Telegram ControNewsMovimentoDiLiberazione The operation to kidnap Maduro didn't start on January 3rd. It didn't even start in 2025. It began five years ago with a phone call, a betrayal, and $50 million in cash. * * * * * * January 3rd 2026 2:47 in the morning. A CH-47 Chinook tears through Venezuelan airspace at 180 miles per hour. Inside, Nicolás Maduro sits zip-tied, blindfolded, wearing nothing but silk pajamas. Twelve Delta Force operators surround him. His wife, Cilia Flores, screams in Spanish beside him. In exactly 43 minutes, the most wanted narco-terrorist in the western hemisphere will land on American soil. In six hours, he'll be in a federal courtroom. But here's what nobody's asking, "How did the United States pull off the impossible? How do you kidnap a sitting president from inside his own palace, protected by Russian S-400 missiles, Cuban intelligence, and 50000 loyal troops?". This operation didn't start on January …More
